Hard landscaping is everything in the garden that isn’t planted: paving, walls, steps, edging, gravel areas and structures such as pergolas and decks. It sets the shape of the space and takes the most wear.
Because it is permanent, it has to be built properly. We excavate to firm ground, build appropriate sub-bases, manage levels and drainage, and finish details neatly so the work stays sound for years.
Retaining walls, steps and terraces create level areas for seating, lawn and planting on sloping plots.
Firm, well-drained paths and patios let you use the garden through wet Somerset winters, not just in summer.
Correct falls and drainage stop water pooling on paving or running towards the house.
Well-built hard surfaces reduce the area of lawn and borders to look after while still looking good.
Most hard landscaping failures start below the surface. We check levels, ground conditions and existing drainage before quoting, so the right excavation depth and sub-base are included from the start.
Materials are chosen to suit the property and the use — from natural stone and porcelain to gravel and timber — and we detail how each surface meets lawn, beds and buildings.
Stone walling follows the same principle: built on firm footings with drainage behind, so the wall holds the ground rather than being pushed by it.
A strong reputation is built through reliable service, quality workmanship and results that customers are happy to recommend.

William came to assess our garden and provided a thorough and professional survey. He took the time to fully understand the scope of what was needed, offered clear practical advice, and followed up promptly. His knowledge of planning rules, ground conditions, drainage and landscaping was immediately evident. We would highly recommend WB Design and Construction to anyone looking for honest, expert assessment and quality work. We look forward to working with William more in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Replacing the lawn in our front and back yard has been done by W B Design & Construction. Starting the job from the quote was incredibly fast(one week) and all was done in less than two weeks. Very flexible even with changes introduced after the work has started and they've gone the extra mile. When they left they've cleaned all the areas perfectly. Highly recommended !Posted on Google![]()

The team from WB Design & Construction have recently completed a garden makeover for me. This included paving, new lawn, fencing, raised beds and a shed base. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. They have transformed a patch of ground which was untidy and difficult to look after into a garden which will be easy to manage. I am looking forward to getting on with planting. The guys worked hard, despite periods of really inclement weather, and they were professional and helpful at all times.Posted on Google![]()

I couldn’t be happier with the work W B Design & Construction did on re-surfacing my front garden. From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. The turnaround was incredibly quick—they got everything done much faster than I expected, without compromising on quality in the slightest. Their attention to detail really stood out. Every aspect of the job was completed to a high standard, and it’s clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. What impressed me most, though, was how they were willing to go the extra mile—from offering helpful suggestions to ensuring the final finish was perfect, even down to the small touches that make a big difference. And all of this came at a very reasonable price, especially considering the level of service and quality delivered. Highly recommend W B Design & Construction—professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work withPosted on Google![]()
